No update Windows after installing SP1

Similar Questions

• Windows 7 fresh install (Via Recovery) SP1 installs OK - no update will after install. Update crashes.

  I have an older HP DM4 with pre insalled Windows Home Premium 64-bit installed.  The computer was perfect until I chose to do the free update of Windows 10.  The upgrade was very laggy so I decided to make a recovery of the system to Windows 7 since the partition.

  The recovery was working fine.  I registered in windows 7.  Downloaded the update has been invited to install the SP1, I did.  After installing SP1, it asked me to update from Microsoft Update.  What I did.  Once I click on "Check for Updates", and it does.  However, it is this. The green bar just hangs.  I waited all night and still nothing.

  Therefore, I have reinstalled windows via recovery again option.  No luck... I searched the forums, deleted the files the forums told me to delete, deleted newspapers, ran a convenience store, disabled services.  Yet.  No luck.

  I just reinstalled Windows 7 using the minimum version of HP.  Installs just the operating system and drivers necessary.  Yet.  The same problem. I have run CHKDSK, I downloaded the latest update of Windows.  Ive tried the ' turn windows manual update, reboot, turn back to auto restart. " Nothing.

  Help, please... I got lost.  I can usually fix anything... This time I ask your help...

  Thank you...

  I installed Windows once more.  Install the critical updates.  Install the Windows SP1.  This time you click on "Check for Update of Windows.  Waited for quite awhile.  Downloaded Malwarebytes.  Installed, he ran.  As Malwarebytes scan a 240 windows updates popped up.  Finally.  It worked! I am now completely updated and back on track. No, I don't think that Malwarebytes had nothing to do.  I also know that it was a new facility so Malwarebytes was not necessary.  I thought that my score could have a bug or something.  I'm just happy that it worked.  I'm sorry that I have no 'official' solution, especially for those who still have this problem.  Thanks for the reply.

• Error code: Trying 80072F8F update windows after fresh install - Dell Vostro 1510 - (Windows 7 x 64 PRO)

  Hello, I'm trying to update windows after installation and I get error code 80072F8F.  After looking for other pages, I checked my BIOS date and time are correct and Windows as well.

  Laptop: Dell VOSTRO 1510
  Windows 7 x 64 PRO

  I already activated Windows (silly me to check everything actually works) and I need a solution as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I needed Windows update to try and fix a number display adapter (card intel not giving not external display resolutions)- but that's another question.

  I hope that there is a fix out there somewhere in the ether.

• Monitor problems after installing SP1

  After installing SP1, on reboot, the screen works nto correctly.... I see the cursor and screensaver.  .. everything else is black

  WTH?

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Windows 7 won't find updates after installing SP1

  I recently had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 Pro from the CD. The installation went well not spent, no errors, so I started the process to reinstall all updates. This process went so smoothly up to the installation of SP1. Once SP1 has been reinstalled, I tried to search for updates more (knowing full well there should be more since SP1 was released years ago). But the Windows Update 'search' for updates for hours without saying whether or not more updates are available. Usually, it takes a few moments for the Windows Update tool look up and see if it is or not updates available so I'm not sure what's going on here.

  Thinking maybe something when reinstalling Windows 7 had been sloppy, I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 new. Same problem; Once SP1 is re-installed Windows Updater tool can't stop 'research' for updates. No code error doesn't pop up, the system works well, but I know there are several updates out there that need to be added.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello DaveRoPA,

  Now go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and remove all of its contents. In fact, this is the folder where the downloaded installation files were stored. But because Windows update sucks, they sort of problem with the partially downloaded update files.

  Return to services again (as mentioned at the beginning) and this time start the Windows Update Service, right-click on it and select start. Try to update Windows again. It should work this time. (You may have to restart your computer if)

• How to update Windows after re-installing Vista 32 bit.

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my Dell E521 and 105 recommended updates to consider.  Should I install all and hope for the best, or is there a better way to ensure that only the most recent updates are included?  Tips appreciated.

  Thank you

  Terry

  You have need of all updates and service packs in the order.  Windows Update allows you to identify the first list and install all of them.  Then run it again before appear no more.  And then install SP1 if it did not appear as an update, then repeat the process.  Then install SP2 and repeat the process.  You will be so up-to-date.  You can't just install new updates - you need in such order as presented by Windows Update.

  I hope this helps.

• Computer fails to boot after installing SP1

  I use Vista without SP1 for quite awhile. I've just updated to SP1 since the message kept popping on my screen. Now the computer will not book. I used the original vista bootable CD and clicked on repair. He began the process of repair, but got stuck at the same registry error

  !!! 0xc01a001d! 35032/165955 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedDat...)

  Thus, even the repair doesn't seem to work

  I need to fix this since I have a lot of important files on my hard drive.

  Support for Vista Gold (no Service Pack) ended on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. If you get only to try to install SP1 (and it is NOT yet installed), ALSO lack you the value of six months of critical security updates. Therefore, it is almost 99.9% certainty that you see the effects of a long infection date hijackware.

  Thanks in advance for your help.
  Amber

  Amber,
  I suggest that you run the following tools and then try to install SP1.

  First to perform a clean boot on your PC.
  Run the disk error checking.
  Run System File Checker.
  Run the System Update tool.
  So if these tools did not report any errors, then install the SP1.

  Post back with the results.

  2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

  5 install MSE.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  8. reactivate the automatic updates.

• Slow closing of windows after installing IE8

  After installing IE8 on my computer, I have problems with closing windows open on my desktop.  The window closes real slow, in the sections of the top to the bottom.  There is no problem with opening the windows, that goes as fast or faster than before.  And other programs on my computer also work faster than before, with no problems at all. Even programs that use a lot of RAM, such as graphic design programs. Just the closure of the programmes are slow and extremely annoying to work with.

  I hope one of you can help me with this problem. everything worked pefect before installing IE8

  Thank you for your attention

  Thinking that I let you know, the problem resolved itself today after an update to MacAfee and after an update to Apple Itunes and Quicktime.

  Since I also have MacAfee on my laptop, and I don't have the problem, here, I think it was probably the previous version of the software for Itunes or Quicktime which caused the problem, because I don't have these programs on my laptop.

  I hope it helps someone other too. :-)

• No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek

  Hello.

  I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.

  The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.

  My troubleshooting so far include:

  -Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works

  -I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers

  -Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front

  -Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device

  -Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html

  -Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

  -Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers

  -Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game

  -Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program

  -In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.

  So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!

  You cannot back up your windows updates... you have to REINSTALL them from the Windows Update program on the computer... no other way around it... insofar as some need to be installed before others are still visible on the computer...
